The Shack

I had the pleasure to read "The Shack" by William P. Young on my plane trip to NY. It was a wonderful book. No, not Catholic, but what a theological read. He talks about grace, the fall, trust, the Trinity, reconciliation, salvation, mercy, scripture, prayer, truth, being judgemental, faith, and love; all of it in a novel. It truly gave me much to think and ponder about in my life. Who is God to me? Do I allow myself to be moved by the Holy Spirit? Will I ever truly love as Jesus did? How do I create a welcoming environment at my parish? How do I stop judging others, ever in any way? I would love to hear thoughts from those who have read this book. (But please, don't give away the story.)
